Well what a load of shite. After yesterdays bad run in the main where I dwindled chips away missing everything then went out to a bad move with only half my starting stack left I didnt think it was possible to run worse.

Played the $12 k/o and went out about halfway down the field, but was really looking forward to the $50 event with 7500 starting stack and over $110,000 for first prize. Missed all the early flops as usual and got my first premium hand after an hour - QQ in early position. BB called my raise and I C-bet representing the A on the flop and he called. Checked it down after that on a dodgy board and was glad I got away with only leaking a few chips as he was never folding his AQ. Next decent hand was 99 and my raise got 2 callers as did my C bet on a 864 two club board. Turn was a 2 and my next bet saw me re raised all in so I reluctantly folded as the only thing I was beating was a flush draw and his re raise smelt like a set. Low stack I then won a flip with AJ v 66 to get back in it and then made a good call with 66 which was up against a short stack's 22. 2 on the flop and I was left wondering why I never seem to run good when it matters. Shoved my last 2500 with blinds 140/280 with JJ from the SB when there had been about 3 limpers. Of course one of them had AA and I'm left feeling pretty gutted.

Still, there are plenty of big tourneys to play whenever I want to and at least I am consistently getting money in the bank with plenty of medium cashes and small victories on Ladbrokes.

So that's the end of the FTOPS and probably the end of this blog. I might start another just to keep track of results or continue this one.
